  • This does not seem right at all (VIDEO)

    Randy Olson|Sep 12, 2024

    This is an issue that could elicit a wide variety of opinions and feelings, but my two cents says that this just is not right!

Watch the attached video to get a sense of what I'm talking about....

  • Shock and awe: CNN does actual journalism (VIDEO)

    Randy Olson|Sep 5, 2024

    Every now and then, in super rare instances, large media conglomerates such as CNN do actual journalism. This was the case recently, when CNN's Erin Burnett thrashed Kamala Harris for her massive, shameful flip-flop on border security and President Donald Trump's border wall. Since 2017, CNN discovered that Harris spoke more than 50 times either on public statements or on her Twitter account about how badly she disagreed and even detested the idea of Trump's border wall and push to expand the...

    The more you know! Kamala Harris's campaign has one key feature: they bus hundreds of supporters from rally to rally across the United States. This is done in an attempt to show that they have a groundswell of support in various locations.

She'll be proven sorely wrong on Election...

    Randy Olson|Aug 22, 2024

    When you dig into the presidential campaign of Kamala Harris and try learning what she actually stands for, you'll quickly learn she is an empty shell. Hearing her speak is downright painful. She strings a long list of words together in multiple sentences, but while speaking, she is saying nothing! Harris supporters continuously fail to specify what her accomplishments are. How pathetic is that? Most recently, we learned she wants to raise corporate taxes from 21 percent to 28 percent. Shocker!...
